Fitting Wall Frames and Plinths

• Wall frames are 100mm - 135mm wide x 18mm thick - maximum 2.6m lengths of MFC board edged on the longer sides supplied in kits.
• Any system over 2.6m wide will need two plinths fitted underneath the bottom track butted together.
• End Panels are 660-672mm wide x 18mm thick - maximum 2.6m lengths of MFC board edged on longest sides.

Preparation
With a wall to wall situation, the wall frames should be installed to each wall and a plinth underneath the bottom track. Where an end panel is specified, the wall frame should be fitted inside the opposite wall and underneath the bottom track.

Before commencing installation, decide which option you prefer with regard to existing skirting boards. The wall frame thickness is generally the same as the projection of the skirting board therefore if you wish to avoid cutting the skirting board the liner can be positioned above the skirting to the ceiling.

If you wish to run the wall frame from floor to ceiling then you must remove the skirting board at the correct position allowing a tolerance for the wall frame supplied.

If you also have a coving at ceiling level and you have ordered your system to fit ceiling height, you must also remove the corresponding portion of the coving with clearance to allow for the wall frame to finish at ceiling level.
